rest of day 12

rest of day 12 laast nights dinner and kitchen photos

i went to the meet and greet cake and coffee thing and i ended up sitting alone at a table with a girl/ lady whom had been in my class on the first day. on the first day she started crying because she had to learn german and she expected to master it in under a year. but that won't happen and her hussband doesn't think she needs german and blah blah blah. and uring the dinner she told me her life story and i could see the entire time her eyes were about to water. and i keep thinking i have to get out of here but how i have to get out of here but how if i leave she will feel abandoned and cry and if i stay i will be uncomfortable and if she starts crying i will have no course of action. im trapped. why arn't i empathetic i don't have emotions im a guy and on top of that i'm a vanderwoude. what should i do. i lack the empathetic skills to sympasize with her i was a victim in the wrong place at the wrong time.

ohh yeah i forgot to write yesterday that before class this kid (and i use the word kid on purpose he is 19 but he acts 15) Danik from kazacstan walks up to me and asks me if i like my (something) i assumed he said first name so i said yes (apparently he said president) then he said "do you know your president planned the 11 september thing, and he planned it, and he new that he would start a war with iraq and destroy them?" i was temped to say "yes i did know that i also know that he eats new born babies and makes deals with satan to quench his thirst for human blood" but in reality i said "no, im not here to discuss international politics im here to learn german."

today was actually andreas birthday (not yesterday) so danik came to class with flowers and a present for her. it is obvious that danik is attracted to her. i'm not sure andrea relizes it. andrea seems to be incredibuly book smart but ignorant in the feild of reality. i am affraid she may do somthing that he interprets to be a welcoming signal which would be bad for all parties. unfortunatly all i can do is watch i cannot interfer. its not my concern.

in my experience with you people from the middle east they like to pretend that they are incharge of people older than them i don't think they they were ever taught that they are not incharge. i will site three examples. one mahamad from 5th grade his favorite joke was to walk up to the board when mr creighton was out of the room and make a broad direction to the class (ie. ok class we are going outside, miss student teacher go order us some pizzas, ect...) in class danik seems to have the same aditude h e never listens to the teacher and she lacks the will power to dominate him also while in class 4 days ago some one who looked like he saw to many micheal jackson videos walked into class and wrote his name on the board and introduced himself as a teacher in all of these casses no body has ever found them to be funny. also, i think there is an undertone of disrespect of women mahamad stayed inline when mr creighton was around but when only the student teacher lady was around he would go crazy. our current teacher is female and danik is out of control.

any way this is the end of my hate blog

any way tomarrow i plan to go to bretten to see the second stage (team time trial) of the deutschland tour. i plan to first go to the farmers market in the morning and buy a bunch of bannanas (what are those groupings of bannannas called) i took five rolls out of breakfast this morning and i plan to have one for dinner tonight and the rest tommarrow after eatting breakfast (pancakes) and a light lunch spagehitti i will leave for the train station with my bike at about 9:45 is then i will leave for bretten at 10:30 ish. when i get there it should be lightly raining and then stop toward the end of my stay so i'm not bringing an umbrella. then i will ride to the start watch the amatuer racers go and wait for the profesionals to start. i will then eat my lunch of bannannas and bread then go to the train station at 5 :00 to go back to schwabisch hall.
